However, the implementation of Document No. 136 is expected to clarify demand expectations, leading to improvements in both supply and demand dynamics within the industry [4][20] - The energy storage sector is experiencing a significant increase in project bidding, with June 2025 seeing a record high of 62.8 GWh in public bidding capacity, a 228% increase compared to June 2024 [5][9] - The photovoltaic sector is anticipated to rebound due to the "anti-involution" plan aimed at reducing excess capacity and promoting sustainable development within the industry [17][18] Summary by Sections Energy Storage - The energy storage industry is in a transitional phase, with ongoing government support expected to maintain resilient demand for storage projects. Key companies to watch include Haibo Shichuang and Sungrow Power [14][17] - The regions with high renewable energy penetration, such as Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Xinjiang, and Hebei, are showing positive attitudes towards supporting energy storage projects [14][15] Photovoltaics - The photovoltaic sector is experiencing rapid capacity growth, outpacing demand, leading to significant losses for companies. The "anti-involution" plan aims to address this by facilitating the exit of outdated capacity and stabilizing prices [17][18] - The price of polysilicon has seen a dramatic decline, dropping from 65 RMB/kg at the beginning of 2024 to 35 RMB/kg by July 2025, but there are signs of recovery [18][19] - Companies to focus on include Tongwei Co., GCL-Poly Energy, and Xinte Energy in the polysilicon segment, and new technology firms like BQ Materials and Aiko Solar in the photovoltaic technology space [4][20]
